Lunch at Pine Forest Vegetarian

Hello!  Today Tink and I went to try the lunch buffet at Pine Forest Vegetarian Restaurant in Houston's Chinatown.  It was my first vegetarian buffet I've been to and I was impressed.  They had a wide variety of vegetarian Chinese dishes like: fried rice, noddles, various vegetables like eggplant and green beans, mixed veggie dishes, dumplings, soup, fruit, vegetarian sushi rolls, and faux meats.

Here is my second plate with various items from the buffet.  My favorite thing is in the top right corner - they are like fried sweet potato balls. 

This restaurant has a full menu, as well as lunch specials, and the lunch buffet to choose from.  It is very clean looking and the staff is friendly and attentive.  I will definitely be back! 

Keeping busy...

Hello!  I have been so busy lately with working, studying, and exams that I don't have much time to blog.  I also have been busy carving birds! It is a craft I have been doing for a while but actually got serious about doing it 2 years ago.  These wooden birds are modeled off of birds I've see in the wild.  The wild birds serve as inspiration and also creates a memento of the place it was seen.

My newest bird is a Palm Warbler that I saw in Florida when visiting my parents last month.  

Anyway, soon I will be on winter vacation and will have more time to blog!  I hope you are having a nice holiday season and are having fun Christmas decorating and shopping.  Most importantly I hope you have the chance to spend time with your friends and loved ones - because that is what the holidays are all about!
